1998 1100RT Rear Shock

Hi again!

I have a 1993 Yamaha TDM 850 that unfortunately I went down on last fall. It is still in decent shape, but will require a fair amount of cosmetic work and a bunch of minor repairs to get it happy again. I have decided that I don’t have the time or energy to do that and so I will likely part it out. My question is this:
It has a fairly new RaceTech G3-S shock on the rear; is there any reason that I would not be able to install that shock on my RT to replace the old OEM currently on there..?
Here is a pic of the RaceTech model in question...



Thanks!

As long as length, shock travel, spring rate, damping, and attachment points are the same you'll have no issues.

...And not just the attachment points, but the spacing between the lower mounting legs, and the length of the upper mounting bushing - forcing the fit, or compressing anything either on the shock or on the bike can lead to future troubles.

So... almost zero chance it will fit.

Find out by going to the manufacturer fitment chart and check part numbers.

Thanks!
I actually jumped the gun on asking the question here before contacting RaceTech...
